Ok, I will admit I watch the Next Food Network Star on Sundays; Hell's Kitchen on Mondays; and Top Chef on Wednesdays. That's what I do, I am a hard-core foodie.
But really, how real are these shows?
Alton Brown of the Food Network said it best when he said "Can we get rid of all of them and start all over" when he referred to the choices trying to become the Next Food Network Star. In my opinion, none of the contestants are qualified for the job.
On Hell's Kitchen, there is a woman who picked pasta out of the garbage, ready to serve to diners. They got rid of a guy because he wasn't fast enough, but they kept the woman that would serve you pasta from the trash.
On Top Chef, I am sure everyone is more focused on what Padma is wearing than what any one is cooking.
And by the way, is it just me or is anyone else wondering if Padma's sudden divorce has anything to do with a sexy "Crafty" chef?
The bottom line is, how serious is this reality cooking? And for future chefs, what are you learning from this?

Ok, now one of the really obnoxious guys is gone (Joey... plus he was obviously a liar, denying that Hung told him he wanted to use penne, and just totally not listening to Hung's advice on freezing... he deserved to go!) Now if Howie and much-overrated Hung get knocked out, I could live with just about anybody else winning
Casey and CJ stole the pesto and orecchieto idea from me! For years I've been making my killer pesto with the little ears pasta, which perfectly scoop up the wonderful pesto....
All facets of reality television sucks! I don't know if people are so desperate for entertainment or if they're seeking utter asininity in hopes to get a laugh.
Oh, speaking of laughing, check out the Health Benefits of Laughing Out Loud.
